In this webcast, panelists discuss the strategic imperative for companies to better communicate how they are creating value through ESG.
Join the EY Center for Board Matters for another episode in our webcast series, Better Questions for Boards, designed to provide directors with insights and questions to consider as they engage with management on a variety of complex boardroom issues.
Embracing environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as a key component of long-term value has become a strategic business imperative and board priority. With ESG investment strategies accelerating and stakeholder capitalism becoming the modern standard for corporate purpose, companies should better communicate material ESG information to the market to gain stronger access to capital, higher stock valuation and new growth opportunities. This webcast will explore ESG investing trends, how ESG disclosures are evolving, frameworks for defining measuring and communicating ESG value, and a perspective on the path forward.
